FACTORS IN TREE REMOVAL COSTS
The estimated cost of tree removal is dependent on multiple facts, which include considering the safety measures involved in tree extraction. Other factors which impact tree removal include:
Tree Species and Size
Tree removal is simply not a one size fits all approach, that’s why our professionals consider the species as a key influential factor in determining the price of removal. Our Brisbane arborists know that certain trees elevate the level of difficulty to remove as this can impact the size and approach our arborists must take – which can increase costs.
The species will affect how difficult it is to cut, climb, woodchip and transport the tree. A common example of this in Brisbane is how the cost of palm tree removal is related to its deep rooted and spiky bark.
The Site
The site of the tree removal is another factor we consider with estimated costs. This relates to the location and terrain difficulty which can contribute to the time it takes to complete tree and stump removals.
The location of a tree removal can affect the level access our Brisbane team has. This can affect the ability to bring a truck and woodchipper closer to the tree, which adds time into cutting, carrying and transportation of the green waste. Uneven terrain or sloped ground can increase the challenge of transporting waste which can reduce the accessibility of a site and require a crew to take more breaks.
Certain obstructions may impact the difficulty and duration of removal too, as the more open area there is around the tree, the more affordable tree removal is likely to be. Less obstructions around the tree allow for better access for the equipment and machinery.
Safety
Safety is always the number one priority for Jim’s Trees, which means it often influences how difficult and time consuming a job needs to be. Safety measures for dangerous jobs often require additional equipment, strategies and expenses which can increase the costs of services. These include:
- Extra safety lines
- Extra crew members
- Elevated work platforms
- Traffic management
- Cherry pickers
- Cranes
- Electricity shutdowns (can cost up to $5,000-$7,000)
Time of Year
The time of year will dictate the conditions for tree removal, in addition to the busy period of tree servicing. Summer and spring are often very busy times for tree services, however it is during autumn when you’ll find the chance to save on tree removals. Our experts report that it can cost as much as 25% more to remove a large tree full of leaves than one without leaves, due to the extra weight and difficulty of the foliage.
Tree Removal Permit
In Brisbane you may need a permit form your local council before tree removal, however this depends on local three protections. We’ve outlined the key reasons why and how you’d need a permit to meet Brisbane’s council guidelines. Contact the team or your council if you have questions that aren’t addressed in our council guide. Consider these costs when budgeting for a tree removal.
